Anybody have any updated #s recently filed?

[BC79er_OLDDELETE]

#635 yesterday. So we're slowly approaching 1000. I have two more that will be submitting shortly, so it will be interesting to see what the final # is.

[fireman640nmfd]

[bschief100]

Ok thanks! Hope to join the club shortly. If it is around a 1000 this year, how does that compare with last year?

I asked Brian in another thread and he said there wasn't a hard number, but his best guess was 5000.

The report on the 2005 FP apps broke down the number of apps by section, and ballparking the level each was at I guessed around 5000. Glad to see it at least made 888, hopefully we break 3000 overall.

I'll be pulling the trigger on ours sometime today/tonight, I will update with a # then. I was waiting for 2 reasons, I am waiting for the Asst. Chief to finish reading it, and I want to see closer to the end what the numbers are.
Everything's entered into the app., I just have to "submit".

Ah, so you're trying for the highest # aren't you?

Don't believe the clock on the app web site, that was off by 15 minutes during AFG, so some people thought they had more time than they did. My goal for AFG is to have at least 50 apps submitted each day the first week. That should take care of close to half of what I'm going to be dealing with. I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines....

Not necessarily, just ends up that way with waiting for the Asst. Chief to do his homework, I don't intend on waiting til tomorrow though if I can help it 'cause I know historically I have seen people have problems with FEMA's website at the last minute. It will be interesting to see what some of the final numbers are though!
